Layman's question: are there programming languages that are particularly well-suited for modeling games?

Depends on what you want. Just want to map the maths to code? Python is a good choice. Easy to understand and visualize too.

But Game Theory models can easily blow up in huge n-dimensional matrices very quick, so performance can be an issue. You might be tempted to go to something like C. But then again, Python has numpy.
